12 days of Christmas – I’m #11!
December 10, 2009 | Interesting People, Proverbs 31 Ministries
“Are you through with Christmas shopping yet?” someone asked me last night.
I laughed out loud. “Of course not”, I said to my friend. She laughed with me, knowing that there are SO many days left before Christmas, as far as I’m concerned.
I’m not really a last-minute kind of girl, except for this. I have friends who finish thier shopping by October. I would hate that! I have other friends who have a tidy pile of Christmas gifts under their tree, a result of braving the crowds at bleary-eye inducing hours of the day.
I love to shop a couple of weeks before Christmas. I love to hear the Christmas songs (and it make sense that they are playing). I love to see little kids sitting on Santa’s lap at the mall. I love it all.
And I’ve found that I’m a huge bargain finder, even if I didn’t get up at 4 a.m.
Now is about the time that I love to shop online, too. I sit in my cozy chair, wrapped in my OU blanket, with Christmas music or my favorite Christian artist playing in the background. I think about Leslie, Stephen, Josh, Melissa, Ryan, and Kristin or Richard as I do. These amazing human beings that are my family. What would they love? What’s in the budget that would be fun to open on Christmas morning after our breakfast together?
My friend, Karen Ehman, must know me well. She’s been hosting a 12 days of Christmas extravaganza on her blog. She waited until Day 11 to introduce me — perfect timing, Karen! Each day she has introduced one of her Proverbs 31 Ministry friends and a giveaway. I’m offering 4 (four!) of my books on her site as a giveaway.
So, let me introduce my Proverbs 31 Ministries sister and friend. She’s a mom, an amazing speaker, a woman who understands what it’s like to go through hard times and come out on the other side, and she’s the real deal. I hope you’ll check out Karen Ehman’s site.
Tell her Suzie sent you.
And by the way, Merry Christmas friend. I’m so glad you dropped by here today. I appreciate you.
